(Ottawa) – The federal government tabled Budget 2023 on March 28th. While acknowledging the support provided in previous budgets, the Canadian Consortium for Research (CCR) expresses its deep disappointment that no new investments in fundamental research were made which will negatively impact Canada’s global relevance, and the next generation of researchers.
“For Canada to be competitive through economic and social innovation, we must create new knowledge, and recruit and retain top calibre researchers. This budget is a missed opportunity to sustain robust and sustainable research science culture in Canada,” said Dr. Lisa Votta-Bleeker, Chair of the CCR.
The Canadian Consortium for Research (CCR) is the largest advocacy coalition in Canada, focusing on research funding in all disciplines and support for post-secondary education. CCR is made up of 20 organizations, including CPA, that represent more than 50,000 researchers and 500,000 students across disciplines.
